India all-rounder Vijay Shnakar received maiden call for the World Cup 2019 ahead of the likes of Ambati Rayudu and Ajinkya Rahane as the selectors relied upon his ‘three-dimensional qualities’. However, the Tami Nadu born is not quite living up to the expectations of the fans as well as the selectors; he became Roach's 2nd victim after edging a full delivery to wicket-keeper Shai Hope.


Vijay Shankar has been in dismal form when it comes to bat in this World Cup, The all-rounder has highest score of just 29, he attained against ‘underdogs’ Afghanistan in India's last group match.

Fans on Twitter expressed their anger after Shankar’s dismissal with many suggesting for young wicket-keeper batsman  Rishabh Pant to replace him in rest of India matches in the ongoing marquee event.

Here are some reactions:






















Meanwhile, India skipper Virat Kohli added another feather to his cap as he became the fastest batsman to score 20,000 international runs when he reached 37 against the West Indies during their World Cup tie at the Old Trafford on Thursday. He also registered 9,000 runs batting at the number three spot.
